There is a saying in Tibetan, "Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength." No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experiences is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.
~ HH Dalai Lama XIV
- - - - -I think tragedy is a highly personal thing. To me it is not only personal in terms of how you navigate tragedy, but how you define tragedy. Some people might see a destroyed jack-o-lantern in the road and think that it is tragic. Others might see a kid "flossing" at a wedding to every song that is played and think that is tragic. Others might not think it is tragic to floss at a wedding until "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" comes on.
Whatever your tragedy, I hope you find strength in it. And if your tragedy is that you don't find strength in tragedy, I hope you find strength in that. Or maybe find $5 on the ground.
